MTV’s Full List of The Hottest MC’s in the Game for 2013. Do you Agree?

The hip hop world is all in a frenzy about the list that nobody supposedy cares about. For a list that nobody cares about, everyone seems to be talking about it. Of course Mr. Kanye West had beef with being listed in the number 7 spot. Arguably he could be higher. Arguably Rick Ross could be higher.

Kanye felt that Jay-Z, Wayne an Eminem should be on this list, unfortunately he is talking about the wrong list. This is the Hottest MC’s in the Game; Not the Best MC’s of all time. Rightfully so, Lil Wayne didn’t even make the list. Honestly, Nas should not really be on there either.

I believe that Kendrick Lamar justifiably owns the number spot. Even when he wasn’t dropping his own hot singles, he was smashing verses on other peoples joints, like A$AP Rocky’s “1 Train”.

In case you were wondering, here is the metrics by which the MTV voters used to determine rank and file:

  • Impact
  • Lyrics
  • Sales
  • Buzz
  • Style
  • Intangibles

They describe intangibles as:

There are some things that just can’t be taught. More often than not, the best spitters in the game practice their bars until they get them just right, but what about swag? When it comes to MCs like 2 Chainz or Big Sean, there is a certain star-quality that just can’t be measured.
